Parasol Tree Featured At Past Chiefs Party Fire Department Party Saturday The severe Saturday night storm and illness cut the attend ance at the fire department Christmas party Saturday even ing, but nine of the department members and their families were able to be present at the fire hall for the festivities. They enjoyed games and carol singing, a visit from Santa and refreshments. The firemen also report that Santa was on time Saturday af ternoon in spite of the storm and many children visited him, al though some were kept away by the storm and illness. Santa was glad for the shelter of the nice Vernonia fire hall for the two- hour period so he could rest and be ready to be on his way again. In addition to listening to the re quests of the children he present ed each with a candy cane. Another way we can prevent our youth from slipping away too swiftly is to hide the car keys. Mrs. Charley Hickman enter tained members of the Past Chiefs club December 5 for the annual Christmas party at which gifts were exchanged by secret pals. For the occasion, her home was attractively decorated in keeping with the season with a paiasol Christmas tree adding a clever modernistic touch to the scene. The framework of a girl’s parasol had been used with large size gold tinsel rope covering each rib and large tree ornament balls on the top and tip of each rib. This was set in one of the cleverly designed containers that several have been making by cov ering coffee cans with assorted shapes of macaroni which are then sprayed with gold. After the gift exchange, delic ious cherry Christmas dessert was served with coffee and tea. The club will meet next at the home of Mrs. Reta Lamping Jan uary 2. Men who have talent for criti cism fail to use it on themselves. Pythian Home On Local Gift List At the meeting of Vernonia Temple Pythian Sisters held Wed nesday evening of last week, the initiatory degree was conferred on Mrs. Leah Stiff.

Also, a com mittee is working on a Christmas basket to be given bo a needy family. Following the meeting, delic ious fancy Christmas breads were served ait tables which had been beautifully decorated with holly and Christmas ornaments by Ir ma Chance and Cora Lange. The Christmas tree was the heavily berried top of a holly tree which was provided by Mrs. Lange and the gifts for the guests at the Oregon - Washington Pythian home were heaped about it. The members chose to give gifts for the home rather than to have a gift exchange. The box of gifts was taken to the home Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Gamer. Assisting Mrs. Chance with the refreshments were Leona Haverland and Lesta Garner. Many lovely Christmas greet ings were received from members who live elsewhere. The next meeting will be next Wednesday, December 27, and will include year-end business of importance to all members.

It will start with the joint potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m. with the two groups holding their sep arate meetings afterwards.

Christmas Tea Colorful Event One of the most delightful so cial events of the Christams sea son for the past several years is the Christmas tea aranged by the home ec classes at Venonia high school under the direction of their instructor, Mrs. Nancy Anderson. The 1961 tea was held Tuesday afternoon of this week and drew the largest attendance of par ents and friends of the girls of any held to date. A Christmas around the world theme was used and the home ec room was color fully decorated with various types of Christmas trees and other decorations. Trees were made of teasle, picks, net and or naments in various arrangements of them. Kissing balls, dolls rep resenting various countries and girls in costumes, along with foods representative of various nationalities all added to the theme. For entertainment, John Jen sen, vocal music teacher, sang a group of Christmas songs after which the sophomore girls mod eled the wool skirts they have made this year. The colorful decorations in the entire high school building, from the windows to the streamer draped halls helped put every one in the mood for Christmas. Too many highway travelers seem to think the right-of-way gives them the right to be care less.
